Riaak staff writer Openers test <strong>for</strong> local teams By C.J. Ritak and Brad Emont staff writers So, at long last it's arrived. Football season is here. The preseason scrimmages are memories, as each and every area football squad gears up <strong>for</strong> another knock-down, helmut-crunching, hardtackling season. Whatever teams do those things the best will emerge at the top of their respective leagues. Which brings us to the "What's New" segment of our first football prediction column Number one on the list comes under the league category. Last year, there were six different leagues in the <strong>Observer</strong> area. This season there are three: the Northwest Suburban League (NSL), the Catholic League and the newest entry, the Western Lakes Activities League (WLAA). The WLAA has| picked up the remnants of the Suburban Eight League (Plymouth Salem and Livonia Bentley) and combined it with Inter-Lak^s League (Farmington, Livonia Stevenson and Walled Lake Central) and Westerh Six League (Farmington Harrison, Livonia Churchill, Plymouth <strong>Canton</strong>, Northville aid Walled Lake Western). With a playoff system matching division winner against division winner, the WLAA will add some spark to the season's end. So, what else ig new, you ask? GARDEN CItY, that's what. No East or West, just Garjlen City. West closed its doors at the end of the last school year and the two schools merged. The team won't be the Tigers (Wes 's nickname) or the Panth- ers (as East w known). It'll be the Cougars (a compromise hoice). What the consolidation means is that Gar- den City, which will still compete in the NSL, will be much more competitive than it was <strong>for</strong> the last few seasons — if there is no leftover animosity from the East vs. West days. There are other changes. Livonia Clarenceville's league, the Metro West, has collapsed, so the Trojans are now an independent. And <strong>Canton</strong> and Salem, the two schools located right next to each other, will meet on the gridiron <strong>for</strong> the first time ever. That game won't be <strong>for</strong> another week. First, let's see how my co-sports editor. Brad Emons, and myself <strong>for</strong>see the weekend's games. Please turn to Page 2C J T J Ro9 el r ' K H a r t Death keeps step with technology Roger Hart, who been a summer staffer with the <strong>Observer</strong> & Eccentric sports department this year, has covered auto racing as a photographer <strong>for</strong> the Associated Press <strong>for</strong> three years. He has regularly followed Indy car races, the NASCAR circuit, and Formula One races. Death has taken four friends away from me this year. I use the term "friends" rather loosely. I had never been over to their houses <strong>for</strong> dinner nor was I in attendance at their weddings. But the four men who died had shared with me many of their triumphs, and I was truly saddened by their death. I shouldn't be so selfish as to say the loss was unique to me, but every motor sports fan in the world was taken by their loss. Death is something that is not uncommon in auto racing. It is accepted as part of the risks of living in the fast lane. Death is very rarely — if ever — talked about by these men who push themselves and their machines more than 200 miles per hour. But even though deaths, or serious accidents, go hand in hand with racing, <strong>for</strong> me, as a fan and an observer, death is still hard to accep . IN MAY, Formula One driver Gilles Villeneuve died while practicing <strong>for</strong> the Belgian Grand Prix in Zolder, Belgium. VilleneuveJ from Canada, ran his Ferrari into the rear of a car driven by Jochen Mass While on a practice lap. The Canadian's car flipped through the air and crashed into a retaining wall, killing the drive". Mass was unhurt in the incident. Also in May, during the first weekend of qualifying fcr the Indianapolis 500, Gordon Smalley crashed into the wall at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway at nearly 200 miles pet - hour. Smalley was killed instantly as th
